Premise
I'm working on three poetry chapbook projects at the moment, and this is one of them! The working title is "heritage".
At the moment my poems are ranging from way too personal to actually publish or post anywhere to wow that's an oddly specific story that no one else in the history of humanity will relate to - but between that there's also some stuff that might make it into my final project draft - and even if this doesn't go anywhere I really enjoyed the process of putting a chapbook draft together last winter / spring, and so I'm going for it again!
In this thread you'll probably get mostly my notes, ramblings, and artsy-edits, but feel free to comment if ya want, and I'll try to leave some poem snippets (if I get any written) too! I'm also making this because I feel like bragging about my NaNo progress somewhere but don't want to disrupt the novelists while they work.
November Goals
I have 10 poems towards this project and I'd like 30-40 more to choose from.
My goal is to write 40 poems in November, and maybe that'll be around 5,000 words.
I'd love to have a ROUGH draft of this done by the end of November and maybe a second draft by January.
December Goals
Keep on swimming, keep on swimming ...
February Update
-> Around Feb I decided to pause working on the "Heritage" Chapbook in order to finish up my "Rivers" Chapbook for submission to a poetry contest at the end of April.
April Update
-> Finished NaPo wrote more "Heritage" Chapbook possible poems and submitted "Rivers" to contest - but wasn't completely excited about how that ended up.
June Goal
-> I plan to resume working on my "Heritage" chapbook project in June in addition to another chapbook project called with the working title "Liturgy".
